Two beef patties come layered with melted cheese and roasted Hatch green chiles, the New Mexico variety with a gentle, earthy heat. The chiles are blistered and softened before they go on, so they bring a tender bite instead of the sharp crunch you get from raw peppers. Built on Whataburger’s standard burger format, it’s closer to the chain’s classic double than to its mayo-heavy specialty burgers. Compared with jalapeño-topped versions, the chile flavor is rounder and a little sweeter, with a distinctly Southwestern profile.
